Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an important treatment option for men suffering from low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism or low T. As men age, their testosterone production often declines, leading to troublesome symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, poor concentration, reduced libido, and erectile dysfunction.
TRT can help reverse these effects by restoring testosterone levels through gels, injections, patches, or pellets. When properly administered, TRT offers a host of benefits:
However, TRT is not right for all men. Treatment should only be considered for men exhibiting symptoms of low testosterone along with blood tests showing reduced levels. TRT requires physician monitoring to adjust dosing, check for side effects, and monitor potential health risks.
The physicians at Balance Hormone Center in Pomona take a comprehensive, caring approach to TRT for men with low testosterone.
We begin with extensive lab testing to accurately diagnose hypogonadism and determine the patient's unique needs. In addition to testosterone levels, we assess overall hormone balance, red and white blood cell counts, PSA levels, and more. This information allows us to develop customized treatment regimens for each patient.
Once treatment begins, patients are closely monitored. We adjust dosing based on follow-up lab work and feedback on symptoms. Frequent office visits and blood draws ensure hormone levels remain optimized without significant side effects.
Our Pomona clinic provides testosterone in several forms - injections, gels, and pellets - so patients can use what works best for their needs and preferences. Pellet implants offer steady testosterone release for 3-6 months from a quick, minor office procedure.
Men experiencing hypogonadism symptoms along with blood tests showing low testosterone may benefit from TRT. Symptoms include:
Lab testing is critical, as symptoms can overlap with other conditions. Blood should be drawn in the morning when testosterone levels peak. Total testosterone below 300 ng/dL generally indicates hypogonadism. Extensive testing provides key details on overall health to guide proper diagnosis and treatment.
TRT may not be appropriate for some patients, like those with untreated prostate or breast cancer, severe urinary symptoms, or heart disease. Careful evaluation of cancer risk and cardiac health is an important part of our process.
When properly administered, TRT offers a wide range of benefits:
Testosterone replacement therapy has been shown to improve some measures of cognitive function in older men with low testosterone levels. Small studies found TRT may improve verbal memory, spatial abilities, and executive function in men over 60 with diagnosed hypogonadism. More research is still needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
